CHRISTMAS ALREADY

Why is it that summer takes it sweet time coming, but before we know it, Christmas is here? BasicGrey has been a favourite designer for years, and this is the new Christmas line called Blitzen for Moda. The teals and grey are such a nice combination. There is some red and green as well. The background fabric is so gorgeous!


I am working on a simple quilt that will feature the fabrics more than the piecing. Not everything has to be a lot of work to be nice. This will be for the Moda club at Katja's in September.

I worked on #26 of the hex-a-long


and this block is for the heal @ do.Good stitches group.  One of the group members has a co-worker who has been diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer. We are making blocks for a quilt for her.


She asked for wonky stars in happy colours : )

The sun is finally shining so I hope to sit out and work on my hexies this week.
Happy stitching.

    I like Basic Grey fabrics as well - they do a great job with Christmas collections! The string quilt on your blog header is absolutely gorgeous! Very happy to have found your blog.

    The colors of your hexies are great! I have a slight obsession with hexagons at the moment.

    Oooh, block 26 might be my favorite hex-along block so far! The blitzen fabric looks like a lot of fun - I've got my eye on it for a Christmas project later this year.
